FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for professional skateboarding?

While the Etnies Fader Trainers offer good durability and traction, they are primarily designed for casual wear and light athletic activities. For professional skateboarding, dedicated skate shoes with enhanced features might be more appropriate.

What is the primary material of these trainers?

The specific materials can vary slightly by colorway, but this blue/brown variant features durable construction suitable for everyday wear, often incorporating suede or similar materials alongside synthetic elements.

How do I know if I have the right size?

The best way to ensure the right fit is to try them on. They should feel snug but not tight, with enough room in the toe box. Refer to Etnies sizing charts if purchasing online.

Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?

It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, as it can damage the materials and construction. Hand washing with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method.

What does 'STI Comfort Level 1' refer to?

STI refers to 'Sammy Torres Insole,' indicating a specific cushioning technology developed by Etnies. 'Comfort Level 1' suggests a standard, comfortable level of cushioning provided by the insole.

How durable is the 400NBS rubber outsole?

400NBS rubber is known for its durability and resistance to abrasion, providing a long-lasting outsole that maintains good grip over time.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Wear them with medium-thickness socks for a few days to allow the materials to break in. If the issue persists, consider if the size is appropriate or if a different lacing method might help.

Traction feels reduced on wet surfaces

Ensure the 400NBS rubber outsole is clean and free from debris. While designed for good traction, extreme wet conditions may still require caution.

Insole feels flat or unsupportive over time

The STI Comfort Level 1 insole is designed for initial comfort. If more support is needed, consider replacing it with a specialized aftermarket insole.
